Fort Rouge Gateway (FRoG) Partnership

FRoG

The Fort-Rouge Gateway Project Partnership began as a discussion between local and state-level stakeholders to discuss the potential for a transformative place-making project in the vicinity of the historic Fort Street Bridge. The Michigan Department of Transportation’s plans to create a linkage between motorized and non-motorized transit options at the Fort Street crossing over the Rouge River provided the impetus for the initial meetings.
